"Urghhh! Hangover sucks!" I muttered, stirring on the bed. However my hands seemed to be stuck.
"Tell me about it" A chill voice asked, making my eyes shoot open.
The pounding headache was restricting me from opening my eyes properly. Memories of me being kidnapped flashed through my head.
"Where am I?" I battled to keep my eyes open.
"Where you should be" The chill voice was beginning to sound familiar in my ear.
Turning my neck slowly, I forced my eyes open, blinking away the tears that blurred my vision. "Romano? Oh thank goodness!"
I was really happy to see him.
"You know, I'm forced to think that you love to attract trouble to yourself" Romano said, his gaze focused intensely at me.
"Me? What do you mean?" I glared at him, showing that I didn't like his statement.
"Or do you seek my attention so bad?" He raised his eyebrow at me
Oh no, he didn't
I tried to get out of the bed but only then did I notice that I was being restricted. Again.
"What's this?" I shook my hand, trying to free it
"You're handcuffed, Peach" He shrugged, pulling himself up from the chair he sat
"Why?"
"Because you're now going wild" He said, pushing aside the hair that covered my face. "And do you know what they do to wild animals or wild people?"
I didn't utter a word, I just kept on shaving my hands in an attempt to break free. His leaned in, gripping on my chin before yelling.
"Answer me!"
Seeing he was enraged, I stopped my struggle and shook my head. His grip tightened, alerting me that he wasn't satisfied with my response.
Word, Jadelyn. He needed words
"No, Master. Please tell me"
His face lit up in a smile before he patted my cheek lightly. "Good girl. They tame them"
Now noticing my environment, I asked "Where's this?"
"Ahh! You finally noticed. This will be your room for few days" He opened his arm wide, smiling at me.
"Ha ha ha. Very funny" I frowned.
"Isn't it? Don't you love how cold and empty it is? Maybe this is what you need in your little bright bubbly life." He said, his facial expression now stern.
"What happened yesterday?" I asked as I couldn't remember much
It could be the drink I took
"You have Ketamine in your system so I'm not exactly surprised that you don't remember." He shrugged, taking his seat again
"I may forget everything but I sure as hell don't forget the fact that you disappeared for 2 weeks" I fired, tired of holding it in
"There you go. You finally said it" He chuckled, his face deadly and cold as stone. "Is that why you fucking decided to go partying?"
"I mean, a girl's gotta party" I rolled my eyes.
"A girl! Not Jadelyn fucking Thompson!" He yelled, charging at me with so much force. "You're not a regular girl anymore. You've been tainted"
"What... What do you mean?" My chest rose up and down as my eyes lingered on his
"You're marked. You'll always be targeted! Are you fucking stupid or you still haven't figured out what this whole thing is?" He yelled
"And whose fault is that?" I yelled back at him frustratedly because he's the one who took away that free life from me
"Your father's fault because if it weren't for him, you wouldn't have been in this situation" He was no longer shouting at me but his voice was dangerously low and you could feel the venom in his words.
"If you had let me go like the other girls, maybe I would've still had a chance at life" I wasn't going to let him pin anything on anyone else but himself
"Oh really!" He scoffed, gripping my hair as he pulled it back. He leaned forward, his face few inches away from mine. "Do you know what would've fucking happened if you were sold off? You'd be used as a fucking sex slave. Your tight little cunt will be ripped apart by old dirty men that are old enough to be your fucking father!"
My heart sank after hearing what would've become of me. You mean I wouldn't have been able to run
"And also, you'd be used and killed by them after usage. It's not like I'm any better but at least you've not fucking started experienced that yet so fucking be the judge." With that, he let my hair go forcefully.
His back was turned to me. I was cold after hearing everything. My heart cried for those girls that were taken away for sale.
"You're no better than them" I spat, her eyes stung with tears which threatened to fall. "You're just as cruel as all the men who bought those innocent girls!" I yelled, struggling once more
"Never in my life have I tried to paint myself as a saint, Piccolo" He scoffed, turning towards me again. Our eyes met, each of them burning with anger.
"Get me out of this thing. I don't want to fucking see your face!"
He moved to me furiously. In the blink of an eye, his hands found my neck, choking me. "Don't you EVER swear at me!" He yelled in my face, his face reddened from the anger he was feeling.
"Or what? You'll kill me? Well, be my guest! End the fucking suffering, Romano!" I challenged, matching his glare.
He didn't say anything as his grip on my throat tightened, I wanted to beg but I bit my tongue. I asked for it and I'll be a coward to beg him for mercy. My eyes began to water as I tried to suck in any little air.
"Fucking hell!!!" Romano growled, moving away from me. A loud thud echoed in the room, making my eyes go wide.
I turned my face to look at him. Apparently, he had bruised his knuckle from hitting it on the wall. He didn't wince or anything, he just stood there, breathing in and out.
The sight of his blood dripping got me panicking. "Romano..."
"Since you want to be stubborn. You'll rot here!"
And boom! He was gone
